Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Monday, July 01, 2019
No summer doldrums this month — not when there’s a Sundance breakout drama, a new Pagan horror movie from the guy who gave you Hereditary and Quentin Tarantino’s valentine to old-school Sixties Tinseltown on the horizon.

I'm assuming it was this show?
What a terrible, beautiful, gorgeous, insane idea that tour was!
Which just shows how bad my memory is, all these years I would've said it was the Fieldhouse.
Show was supposed to have been a couple of weeks earlier, but there was some unpleasantness down in Memphis a day or two before the originally scheduled date, so they postponed.
I remember almost nothing about the show, other than the terrible acoustics (one of the commenters in the thread you linked noted that as well). Don't even have the excuse of having been grossly intoxicated, I was 15 and my body was still an unsullied temple.
My first concert was Uncle Kracker opening for Sugar Ray at Hard Rock Live in Orlando in 2001. Yeah, seriously.
About a month later, I saw Fuel opening for Aerosmith at the Mars Ampitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL.
Another month later I saw the Family Values Tour at the Ice Palace in Tampa, featuring Static X, Deadsy, Staind, Linkin Park, and Stone Temple Pilots
Then I saw Garbage opening for No Doubt, also at the Ice Palace in Tampa.
This is from this link ...
Now, *did* it happen? Eh ... maybe? But I'd give more than a pinky toe to have been there to have seen it if it did ...
I'm fairly certain that my second show was Tom Petty three years later with my dad. Jackson Browne warmed up. Yeah, they're two dad rockers, but you talk about a step up from a big band.
First concert was Claus Fest 2002 at the Nassau Coliseum. I was SO excited to see Zwan and Audioslave, but I mostly remember it for witnessing both Kelly Osbourne and the Vines get booed off stage. Only time I've seen an act booed off stage. And it happened twice! Must be pretty embarrassing when the crowd can tolerate New Found Glory but not you.
You *lived* in Blackpool? Man, the seven year old me (living in Bury) would have thought that was the most exciting thing imaginable. Nowadays, maybe not so much.
MASTERPIECE
